MOONSTONE NOIR | French Avenue

The Eclipse of Elegance: A Darker, Deeper Dimension of Radiance.

If the original Moonstone is the shimmering light of the moon, Moonstone Noir is the magnetic mystery of the lunar eclipse. This intensified flanker from the house of French Avenue takes the DNA of the original and plunges it into a deeper, more nocturnal territory. It is designed for the individual who loves the mineral, futuristic edge of the collection but desires a richer, more sensual undercurrent for the evening.

Moonstone Noir is a masterclass in texture. It retains that signature "space-age" cleanliness but wraps it in shadows of spice and dark resins. It is the scent of a midnight gala in a glass-walled skyscraper—sophisticated, cold, and undeniably powerful.

Moonstone Noir is a Woody Mineral Amber composition that leans into darker, more earthbound notes while maintaining a crystalline sky-high peak.

The Experience

• The Spicy Twilight (Top Notes): The fragrance opens with a sharp, commanding blend of Black Pepper and Saffron, accented by a darker, more concentrated Mandarin. This introduction is pricklier and more assertive than the original.

• The Velvet Heart (Middle Notes): The core features the iconic Violet Leaf, but here it is paired with a denser Leather Accord and Dried Fruits. This adds a chewy, sophisticated richness that feels tactile and luxurious.

• The Nocturnal Foundation (Base Notes): The dry-down is a massive, lingering base of Akigalawood, Patchouli, and Black Amber. These notes provide a smoky, earthy warmth that grounds the mineral elements, creating a "Noir" effect that lasts through the night.
